  • Runaway Wives: Husband Desertion in Medieval England

    Runaway Wives: Husband Desertion in Medieval England

    RUNAWAY WIVES: HUSBAND DESERTION IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND By Sara Butler Loyola University New Orleans Scholars of the medieval family would generally agree that the lot of the me- dieval wife was not an easy one. Medieval husbands held the upper hand in the power relationship, both legally and socially. Although Lawrence Stone's view of niarried life in the Middle Ages as "brutal and often hostile, with little communication, [and] much wife-beating" has since been called into question, more recent historians have still painted a somewhat unflattering picture.' Ju- dith Bennett writes that "[m]edieval people thought of conjugality as a hierar- chy headed by a husband who not only controlled his wife's financial assets and public behavior, but also freely enforced his will through physical violence."^ Indeed, she argues that wife-beating was "a normal part of marriage."^ Even Bar- bara Hanawalt, who has optimistically described peasant marriage in medieval England as a partnership, still concedes that occasional violence was acceptable and expected in marriage.'' What is more, the rules of coverture, which adhered to the biblical principal of husband and wife as one flesh represented at law by the husband, left a wife economically vulnerable. Because all real and movable property legally belonged to the husband as head of the household, a wife who fell out of favor with her husband might well find herself expelled from the family home, without any resources to fall back on.^ From a modern perspective, mari- tal practices hardly provided any sense of reassurance. At a time when families, more often than individuals, took the lead in spousal selection, and inheritance and status were the chief criteria, strong bonds of affection were not guaranteed.

    There Are Few Books on Depression That Draw Together Insights from the Fields of Pastoral Care, Biblical Teaching and Clinica

    ‘There are few books on depression that draw together insights from the fields of pastoral care, biblical teaching and clinical psychiatry with such straight- forward clarity and practical wisdom. Written with the everyday needs in mind of those who battle with this condition, Encountering Depression is a one-stop resource for both sufferers and carers and all those who seek to offer them pastoral counsel and support.’ Glynn Harrison MD FRCPsych, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Bristol ‘Many therapists, myself included, have often found their depressed Christian clients among the most difficult to help. For such clients, it has often seemed that their belief system and the practice of their faith have proved impedi- ments rather than aids to accepting the reality of their predicament and to finding through it a new humility, a hope which goes beyond despair and a freedom from destructive guilt and stubborn autonomy. Andrew and Elizabeth Procter’s book provides a powerful antidote to the false theology and the ingrained attitudes which intensify for many Christians the suffering which depression inevitably brings. In simple and direct language they address key questions, provide a mine of information, offer helpful guidance for both scripture reading and private meditation, and list a host of reliable resources. This is a book not only for Christians who know the burden of depression in their own lives but also for their relatives, friends, pastors and co-religionists. The Procters have provided a treasure house of wisdom which, if taken seriously, could transform many a congregation into a truly empathic community where God’s love could permeate into the darkest recesses of the depression experience.’ Brian Thorne, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of East Anglia, and Lay Canon of Norwich Cathedral ‘I just couldn’t put it down! This is a “must have” book and, almost frustrat- ingly, I agreed with every word.

    318 the MONTH. 'THE Second Reading of the Burials Bill Was Carried, As We Expected, by a Decisive Majority. the Bishop of Lincol

    318 THE MONTH. 'THE second reading of the Burials Bill was carried, as we expected, by a decisive majority. The Bishop of Lincoln, in -0pposing the Bill, was supported by Viscount Cranbrook in an eloquent speech; but the Archbishops, followed by eight Bishops,1 voted for the second reading. In introducing the Bill in the Upper House, the Government showed a wise discretion. Lord Chancellor Selborne is greatly respected among loyal Church­ men, particularly, perhaps, among the majority of the clergy ; and his conciliatory speech smoothed the way for a consideration of the Bill, which as it stood was by no means a mere reprint of the Liberationist programme. The clerical relief provisions were welcomed by many Church Reformers as at the least a step in the right direction. In Committee, on the 1 5th, several amendments were proposed. ·The Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe proposed the insertion in line 13, after " place," of the words " where there is no unconsecrated burial-ground or cemetery in which the parishioners or inhabitants have rights of burial." The Lord Chancellor objected that this amendment would draw a line between parish and parish through­ out the kingdom. In one parish a Nonconformist would be able to avail himself of the provisions of the Act; in an adjoining parish a Nonconformist would not be able to do so. The Archbishop of York, in supporting the amendment, remarked that a line be­ tween parish and parish already existed. On a division there appeared-Contents, 130; Non-contents, ro6; by a majority of 24, therefore, this important amendment was carried.

There is nothing so complete in the English language on the subject of preaching as this volume. It should be on the list of every bishop's books for ordination candidates. It deals with such subjects as the meaning, nature, scope, and aim of preaching; personal requisites for preaching ; material and contents of the sermon ; and rhetorical form and delivery of the sermon. At a time when many of the candidates for English Orders receive no instruction at all on this, one of the most important of their duties, it would indeed be desirable that this work should be placed in the hands of every deacon.

This is a volume of excellent, vigorous addresses to young men, in strong and simple language and with striking illu11trations. It deals with such subjects as looking forward; ideals; will and action; talents; enthusiasm ; taking pains; flying the colours ; forewarned ; discipline; environment; decision; sense of honour ; sympathy ; friendships ; self­ respect; the body ; reading, etc. These addresses will not only be useful to those who frequently have to speak to congregations of men, but are also in themselves interesting and profitable reading.

    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL 2016 OUR MISSION: “TO KNOW CHRIST AND BE SENT” 1. Prayer, worship, Bible study and Parish Outreach 1.1 The main Sunday service continued to be the 9.45am Parish Communion, with a specific healing ministry during the administration of Communion. 1.2 The Eucharist was also generally celebrated each week at 8.00am on Sunday and 9.30am on Wednesday, and there was a service of Choral evensong on the 4th Sunday of each month from January to July, and on the first Sunday from September onwards. On the first Sunday of December this was replaced by an Advent Carol Service. 1.3 Aggregating the attendances at the 8.00am and 9.45am services for each of the four Sundays, the average Sunday attendance in October 2016 was 95 while Easter and Christmas communicants were, respectively, 140 and 197. 1.4 Morning Prayer has been taking place at 9.00am every weekday, and the Barnabas Fellowship met at 8.30 each Saturday. A group meets each Sunday for prayer in the Lady Chapel before the Parish Communion. Various discussion groups met in 2016, including “Christians in Science” in June. 1.5 The Vicar and David Alleyne, our lay Pastoral Assistant, take home Communions as need arises, as Len Gray is also authorised to do. Our Pastoral Group consisting of David Alleyne, Sue Broatch, Isabelle Halle, Len Gray, Enid Scott-Kerr and Michael Donnellan meets every Monday morning after prayers to review the pastoral needs of the Parish. 1.6 During the year, 8 baptisms, 4 weddings, and 4 funeral services were conducted in the church (18 other funerals were also taken at the crematorium).
